An international workshop on high-resolution ocean modelling for coupled seamless predictions

Scope: The scientific development of ocean models and global coupled prediction systems at resolutions of order 1/12 ° for seasonal to decadal prediction and short-range weather forecasting.

Objectives/themes:

Identification of expected improvements to processes and performance

Clarification of the key choices for ocean model configurations and parametrisations

Development of coherent designs and collaborations for experiments and diagnostics

Format:

Session 1: Why is high resolution required, What are the expected improvements to processes and science outcomes.Session 2: Development of coherent designs and collaborations for experiments.Session 3: What are the numerical, HPC and parameterisation challenges of high resolution.

For more details please see the first announcement, flyer and the web-site.A second announcement inviting submission of abstracts will be made in the second half of November.
